Thank you for sharing your experience and expertise. I'm a big fan of MySQL's scaling properties and some of the tooling (Vitess). Do you see any emergent general purpose RDBMS achieving similar popularity of MySQL and/or PostgreSQL in the near future? I heard good things about Clickhouse but it's a different tool (column based) from my understanding.

I am not a good judge of popularity, given that I still post a lot about MySQL on HN in the year 2024 :) In all seriousness though, as a bootstrapped founder I'm not usually able to devote time to tinkering with emergent databases, sorry! From what I've heard, Clickhouse is excellent, but it is OLAP focused rather than OLTP.

  Ahh I see now, you've founded https://github.com/skeema/skeema https://github.com/skeema/skeema which is great! Keep it up!

  >given that I still post a lot about MySQL on HN in the year 2024 :) Not nearly enough So please do that more often :) Seriously I dont want HN to be one sided about RMDBS and I constantly submit a lot of MySQL related content and release notes. And there is still a whole world using MySQL for a lot of different reasons. Especially now Oracle has finally updated MySQL release schedule.
